Mock Congress begins April 29th. In the end, you and a partner or two will propose a bill that you think would benefit our country. Bills become laws when passed by both houses of Congress and signed by the president of the United States. All bills begin with an idea- an idea about something that needs to be fixed or improved or provided... to make American a better place for as many people as possible.
Watch this America Rocks video "I'm just a bill" and follow the news and post to this discussion things that you think "outta be a law". The video features the idea that all school busses should have to stop at railway crossings (which all school busses now do!)
